There are several references to Lord Manvers in the Gillow archive for the period 1800-1840 but he seems also to have bought furniture from their London retailer. This prevents exact identification of purchases because objects sold in London appear in the Gillow archive by the name of the retailer alone. The Manvers archive itself suggests large scale buying, totalling as much as ¨3,000. As many as forty pieces by Gillow were included in the Thoresby sale.
